Kurt Waldheim His Excellency Dr. Hazem Nuseibeh Permanent Representative of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to the United Nations New York THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 17 December 1980 Sir, I have the honour to refer to your objections to certain press releases issued by the Department of Public Information as conveyed in your letter of 11 December 1980, and your statement in right of reply in the plenary on 16 December. In accordance with ray assurance through the President of the General Assembly, I have had both instances thoroughly investigated by Mr. Y. Akashi, Under-Secretary-General for Public Information. I have been informed of the results of this investi- gation, and Mr. Akashi has written to you in some detail of his findings.

Never- theless, corrective action is being taken with regard to the individuals concerned. I hope that the explanations provided to you will prove satisfactory, and I offer my personal apologies for the trouble this has caused. Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Y. 1DD17 TO THE UNITED NATIONS TELEPHONE: PL 2-Q135-S December 11, 1980 Excellency: I wish to draw your attention to press release GA/6356 of 10 December 1980 containing excerpts from a statement made by Ambassador Blum of Israel in exercise of his right of reply in the course of the debate on Item 26 on "The Situation in the Middle East. " To my very big amazement, the press release stated presumably quoting some of the statement of the Israeli representative that "I had even quoted from the so-called "Protocols of the Elders of Zion1, a spurious text put together in Czarist Russia. If the Assembly were to stop playing as 'mock Parliament' such virulent calumnies would have been ruled out of order." I was not present at the meeting and therefore, in no position to verify whether this distortion had actually been made by the representative of Israel or whether it had originated in the authors of the said press release. My statement on the Situation in the Middle East is available verbatim in the records of the United Nations and nowhere in my statement did I ever mention or refer to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" , If the representative of Israel had actually fabricated such an allegation then it is within his | jurisdiction and his habitual behaviour to disseminate blatant lies to which I shall have occasion to give the appropriate reply. If the representative of Israel had not stated that I had quoted the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" then, a very serious responsibility devol.es_uporL^^ the __ ' ~~ whom one would~expect as international servants rcise utmost integrity and honesty in reporting. Since I do not look upon this fabrication lightly, I would respectfully ask Your Excellency to direct that a thorough investigation be carried out to ascertain the""tru~tn~~or~~TfFie~ matter" I~f the editor of~tHe said press release had been responsbile for quoting the said fabrication, then I request that an ^investigation be carried out by the appropriate authorities artnfhe ~~ secretarlaTr~and that those responsbile should be brought to account for such serious libel. December 11, 1980 Page 2 I also expect that an official corregendum and apo_logy^_be sent__to__ine_ by those responsib~l^"fox this^reprehen^Tble act. Please accept, Excellency, .the assurances of my highest esteem and consideration.

PERMANENT MISSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS PLAZA HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN NEW YORK. N, V. IDQIV TO THE UNITED NATIONS TELEPHONE: pu 2.Q13S-6 ME7/1405 - t " :~" February 2, 1981 Excellency: . I have the honour to convey a message which I received from the General Islamic Congress for Beitul- Maqdis (Jerusalem) at its latest meeting in Amman. This very ominous message is a further proof, if any is needed, of the occupying powers' unbridled and shameless transgressions against Islamic sanctuaries and leaders in the occupied West Bank including Jerusalem. The message reads as follows: "The General Islamic Congress for Beitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) in Amman condemns the Zionist aggressions against the citizens of the occupied West Bank. Fur- ther to the deportation of the religious leader of Hebron and the two mayors of Hebron and Halhhoul, the Zionist occupying authorities arrested three Muslim religious preachers in Nablus and Toulkarm, accusing them of violating laws of Zionism in their own homeland. These acts were intensified lately to include the arrest of twenty (20) religious leaders and preachers of Muslims throughout the West Bank, including the Islamic Higher Council in Jerusalem. There is no explanation for these aggressions except deep-rooted hatred and racism practiced by Zionism and Zionist authorities against other faiths, peoples, humanity as a whole, as well as the curtail- ment of the religious freedom of other faiths. The Islamic Congress urges Your Excellency to use your good offices to stop the racial Zionist aggression against the Muslim religious leaders and to take appropriate steps with a view to ensuring their immediate release. Thank you for your positive cooperation and .concern. (SIGNED) THE GENERAL ISLAMIC CONGRESS FOR BEITUL- MAQDIS (JERUSALEM) AMMAN" February 2, 1981 Page 2 I request Your Excellency to initiate prompt measures to redeem this untenable and totally unjustified actions by the Israeli occupying power in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the norms of descent civilize behavior. I also request Your Excellency to circulate this message as an official document of the General Assembly under item 57 of the Provisional Agenda and of the Security Council. Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest esteem and consideration. //.

  • St. Paul's Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine's Monastery at Sinai
    St. Paul’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai May 17-30, 2011 1 2 A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND AND ST. CATHERINE’S MONASTERY AT MT. SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world. In the course of 20 centuries, millions of Christians have made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with their goal being Jerusalem as the most important place to journey to and pray at its holy sites – and with Bethlehem a close second.

  • Conversations in Amman by Norman Frankel
    Fall 1988 Conversations in Amman by Norman Frankel INTRODUCTION The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a participant in many of the conflict systems of the Middle East. This essay examines, from a Jorda­ nian perspective, six of the most pressing issues affecting political stabili­ ty in the Arab world today. My findings are based on personal interviews conducted between December 1986 and January 1987 in Amman, Jor­ dan. I interviewed the people, introduced below, because they represent a cross-section of official and non-official Jordanian opinion. Dr. Abdul Salam Al Majali, president of Jordan University since 1967, has also served as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Educa­ tion. He has been an influential adviser to King Hussein since the early 1960s. Jordan University is the educational showplace for the Kingdom of Jordan and it is largely Al Majali's creation. He was interviewed in his office 23 December 1986. Mofid Mobaslat, representative for the Nablus district in the Jorda­ nian House of Delegates, travels frequently in the administered ter­ ritories. He has little direct influence with King Hussein and his im­ mediate circle, however, he does represent the thinking of many East Bank Palestinians. He was interviewed in his office in the Parliament on 31 December 1986. Waheed Al Jaabari, representative for Hebron in the Jordanian House of Delegates, is a member of a very old Palestinian family with relatives on both banks of the Jordan River. The Al Jaabari family has been active in Hebron politics since the 1920s, and has contributed to the development of the Hashemite Kingdom.

  • Fr. Bob Thames Newsletter April 2020 All of You There, My Best Prayer for A
    Fr. Bob Thames Newsletter April 2020 All of you there, my best Prayer for a Blessed Easter to all of you. Just thought as I haven't much to do, with the quarantine, that I would write to all of you telling about here. Greetings to all of you there who are interested in what happens here in our place in Bolivia. I will call this letter our Mid-April letter. And why? Because of the importance of Holy Week and Easter for you all and for us. Our Holy Week began with the Saturday before Palm Sunday. We read the Gospel of John 12, 1-11, Mary anointing the feet of Jesus in their house after the resurrection of Lazaro, her brother. Because of just a reading and listening by the kids, as it seemed me to be of less an impact that would be remembered, we acted out the readings along with the readings for all of the Holy Week services. We then began this method with this celebration. I would explain afterwards then the importance of the reading and how it should affect our living of this Gospel in our house, school, and beyond. We then did the same for Palm Sunday without the long passion reading, only the entry into Jerusalem along with the cleansing of the temple. If any of you haven’t read Bargil Pixner’s book “Paths of the Messiah: Jesus and Jewish Christianity in light of Archeological Discoveries” I highly recommend it if you have interest in early Christian history (Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 2010).
